## What is wrong

Certain trucks equipped with a power locking tailgate may experience unintended opening of the tailgate. If this occurs while driving, unrestrained cargo could fall out of the box and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will modify the locking mechanism.
